HISTORY OF 

Acton, Shapleigh, Parsonsfield, 
Newfleld and Lebanon 



Gcnenal Sunvcy. 



There are few towns in our state that do not present 
many interesting and instructive })oint8 of iiistory. But no 
^roup of towns are more replete with interesting facts and 
incidents than Acton, Shapleigh, Newfield, Parsonsfield and 
Lebanon, the subjects of this sketch. No account, of the 
necessary brevity and scope of this one, can do justice to 
this region, but we approach the task with an appreciation 
of our limits and shall confine ourselves to the more essen- 
tial and important facts, and shall, with the facts at our 
hands, gained from research among documents and histories 
already published and from personal conversation with 
people familiar with various phases of the past of the group, 
present these facts as best we can. We wish in the beginning 
to make especial mention of our indebtedness for data found 
in the York County History by W. W. Clayton, the History 
of Parsonsfield, the Maine vState Register and numerous 
documents kindly furnished by the Maine Historical Society 
of Portland. 



Indian Jlccount. 



No portion of local history is more interesting than that 
relating- to the redmen who roamed throup,'h our forests and 
fished aud rowed our streams through the years of our early 
settlement and far back into the misty past. Our interest 
is more than curiosity aud our contemplation of those rude 
and uncivilized people; it rouses in us of today a sympathy 
for his hard lot, for hard it was, and a pity for his fate, 
though one that was inevitable. 



THE SOKOKIS INDIANS. 

*Saco Valley Settlement and Families. 

Before the encroachment of pale faced settlers, the entire 
valle}^ of the Saco and its tributaries was peopled by the 
numerous Sokokis Indians. These were considered the 
parent tribe of the Abenaki Nation, which at one time peo- 
pled the whole of Maine. One of the most eloquent and 
statesmanlike of their chiefs once said in council, "We re- 
ceived our lands from the Great Father of Life; we hold only 
from Him." Their title was unquestionable and unmolested, 
they roamed the valley from their village at the Lower Falls 
(Saco), to the settlement on the great bend, on the inter- 
vales of Fryeburg. These were in many respects a noble 
race of red men, evincing unmistakable evidence of having 
descended from a higher state, and still retained a fine sense 



PTISTOKICAL 7 

of honor and personal dignity. 

The Sokokis tribe was once so numerous that they could 
call nine hundred warriors to arms, but war and pestilence 
reduced their number to a iiit^re handful. *Tlie residence of 
the sagamores was on Indian Island, above the lower falls. 
Among the names of the chiefs who dwelt hereabout were 
those of Capt. Sunday, the two Heagons, and Squando who 
succeeded Fluellen. For some years these Indians lived with 
the white settlers in peace and quietness, some of them 
acquiring a fair knowledge of the Fiiiglish language by their 
intercourse. When the increasing number of colonists en- 
croached upon their lands, and hatred and discontent had 
been engendered by the ill treatment of the whites, these 
Indians gradually moved up river and joined their brethren 
who lived in the villages at Pequawket and on the Ossipee. 

As early as 1615 there were two branches of the Sokokis 
tribe under the leadership of two subordinate chiefs. 
One of these communities was the Pequawket settlement 
and the other was at the mouth of the Great Ossipee, where 
before King Phillip's War, theyeinployed English carpenters 
from down river to build them a strong timber fort, having 
stockaded walls fourteen feet in height, to protect them 
against the blood-thirsty Mohawks, whose coming these In- 
dians anticipated. Upon the removal of these people from 
the locality of their early home on the lower waters of the 
river to the interior, their names were changed to Pequaw- 
kets and Ossipees; the former word meaning the crooked 
place, the other either taking the name of or giving their 
name to the river and lake upon which the}^ lived. 



8 INDIAN ACCOUNT 

A terrible fatal pestilence, thought to have been the 
small pox, which prevailed in 1617 and 1618, amon^ the 
Indians of this and other tribes, swept them away by thou- 
sands, some of the tribes having become extinct from its 
effects. At a treaty assembled at Sagadahoc in 1720, there 
were delegates from the Winnesaukes, the Ossipees, and the 
Pequawkets. When the treaty was holden in Portsmouth 
in 1713, the Pequawket chiefs were present. Adeawando 
and Scawesco signed the articles of agreement with a cross 
at the treaty held at Arrowsic in 1717. 

Some have assumed that the whole community of the 
Pequawkets lived together on the intervale at Fryeburg in a 
compact village. This conjecture is not true, for we find 
that these keen warriors had out-posts some distance above 
and below the village to guard against surprise. While the 
larger body of the Indians lived on the great water loop, 
there w^ere clusters of houses in various places down the 
Saco valley. One of these hamlets was situated just south 
of Indian Hill in North Conway, and consisted of about 
twenty lodges. In the present town of Hiram, not far from 
the mouth of the Great Ossipee river, there is a high bluff 
upon the top of which there is a nearly level plateau of 
about two acres in extent where several families of the So- 
kokis Indians once lived. A peculiar Indian burial mound 
seventy-five feet long, fifty feet wide, and about twenty-five 
high, was discovered on the west side of Lake Ossipee and 
south of Lovewell's river, soon after the Revolution. This 
mound, which is located upon a beautiful intervale, is filled 
with the skeletons of thousands of Indians entomed in a 



HISTORICAL 9 

sitting posture and circling around a common center facing 
outward. These form concentric circles which were added 
one after another until the outer one was formed when an- 
other tier was begun above them. The bodies seem to have 
been packed closely together and covered with about two 
feet of coarse sand, while around the foot of the mound 
were placed stones taken from the river bed to prevent the 
mound from washing; down. This mound is estimated to 
contain no less than eight or ten thousand skeletons, which 
would seem to speak of either a numerous or a long estab- 
lished race in this locality. 

The Pequawkets seem to have been a peaceful race when 
not molested by hostile tribes or encroaching settlers. 
There is no record of any hostile action on their part to 
warrant the expedition against them made by Capt. Love- 
well and his company in 1725. On the other hand there is a 
record in the office of the Secretary of State in Boston of a 
petition made by John Lovewell, Josiah Farwell and Jona- 
than Bobbins for a bounty to be paid for scalps of "enemy 
lodians" that they might be able to take while ranging the 
woods for the period of one year for that purpose. A liberal 
bounty was offered, and a company of forty-six men was 
organized by Capt. Lovewell for an expedition against the 
Pequawket settlement. 

THE PEQUAWKET EXPEDITION. 

On April 16, the company bade farewell to their friends 
and kindred in Dunstable, Mass., the home of many of the 
party, and proceeded to Contoocook, and to the west shore 



10 INDIAN ACCOUNT 

of Ossipee Lake. Here they halted and erected a fort which 
should serve as a rallying^ point and base of supplies. By 
this time two men had become disabled. One had returned 
home accompanied by a friend, Benj. Kidder was left at the 
fort, with the surgeon and a guard of eight. The remaining 
thirty -four men took up the trail to Pequawket with good 
courage. 

On Tuesday, two days before the battle, the party were 
suspicious that they had been discovered by the enemy, and 
on Friday night the guard heard them creeping through the 
underbrush about their encampment. At an early hour 
Saturday morning. May 8th, while they were yet at their 
devotions, the report of a gun was heard, and soon an 
Indian was seen standing upon a point of land extending 
into Saco (now Lovewell's) pond. They supposed this was 
a decoy, to draw them into ambush. A conference was 
immediately held to determine what course to pursue. The 
men were anxious for an engagement, but Capt. Lovewell 
seems to have assented against his wishes. They prepared 
for action. Assuming that the foe was still in front he 
ordered the men to lay down their packs that they might 
advance with greater caution and be less hampered in the 
fight. When the party had proceeded slowly for about a 
mile they discovered an Indian approaching among the 
trees. Several discharged their pieces at him. He returned 
the fire and seriously wounded Capt. Lovewell with a load 
of buckshot. Ensign Wyman then shot the Indian and 
Chaplain Frye scalped him. 

Meanwhile Paugus, the Indian chief, with eighty stal- 



HISTORICAL 11 

wart warriors had been watchiug every movement from the 
rear. They had disco veered the hidden packs and learned the 
small number of the attacking party. When Lovewell's 
company returned to secure their provisions and had 
reached a tract of land covered with pines a little way back 
from the pond, the Indians rose from ambush in their front 
and rear in two parties with guns aimed; the whites also 
presented their guns and advanced to meet the foe. 

Approaching within twenty yards of each other both 
parties fired. The Indians were badly cut to pieces and took 
shelter in a clump of low growing pines. Already nine of the 
attacking party had fallen dead, including Capt. Lovewell. 
Three were fatallj^ wounded. Ensign Wyman ordered the 
remaining soldiers to retreat to the pond. Until the going 
down of the sun the battle went on with much vigor. 

About the middle of the afternoon Chaplain Frye fell, 
seriously wounded. After falling he was heard to pray for 
the preservation of his comrades. For eight hours the fight 
had continued and at times was vehement. The whites were 
obliged to adopt the Indian mode of warfare; they kept near 
together, each selecting a position for his own safety. 
Ensign Wyman stealthily crept to a position to cover 
Paugus, the chief, whom he shot dead. The tradition that 
Paugus was killed at the water's edge by Chamberlain when 
they had both gone down to wash their guns was not given 
as a part of this engagement until some fifty years later,* 
When darkness fell the Indians withdrew, leaving their dead 
on the battlefield. 

When the moon arose about midnight the survivors of 



12 INDIAN ACCOUNT 

Lovewell's party assembled, faint and exhausted. There 
were but niue unhurt, eleven were seriously wounded, Jacob 
Farrar was found to be dyin^, and two others were unable 
to rise. Solomon Keyes could not be found. A retreat was 
decided upon, but the wounded men were unable to proceed 
far. When they had ^one something more than a mile, four 
of the wounded— Lieut. Farwell, Chaplain Frye, and pri- 
vates Jones and Davis, could no longer move forward. 
They importuned their comrades to push toward the Ossipee 
fort and secure a rescuing party to carry them in. When 
the men reached the fort, where the guard had been left, to 
their consternation they found the men had deserted the 
place and nearly all the provisions gone. Here was another 
trying experience for the soldiers, who now numbered but 
niue. If they returned to their wounded comrades whom 
they had left behind, they feare.d starvation for themselves 
as well as for their comrades. The only alternative seemed 
to be to leave them to their fate. They pressed forward 
toward Dunstable and for four days it is stated they did not 
taste food. They then brought down some partridges and 
squirrels which they roasted and which gave them strength 
for the rest of the journey. They succeeded in reaching Dun- 
stable, the greater part of them on May 13th, the others 
two days later. Two of the men, Josiah Jones and Eleazer 
Davis, who were left to perish finally reached Berwick. Chap- 
lain Frye and Lieut. Farwell did not survive. 

Such was the effect on the attacking party. The 
Pequawkets suffered nearly as badly, and this was the death 
blow to their national power. According to the census of 



HISTORICAL 13 

the Indians taken by Capt. Giles the following year they had 
but 24 fighting men left among them, and some of these 
carried serious wounds received in the fight. The news of 
the defeat and disaster cast widespread sorrow throughout 
the Massachusetts homes from which the soldiers had gone. 
A party was immediately sent to the battle ground and the 
bodies of the Captain and ten of his men were buried at the 
foot of an ancient pine. A monument has since been erected 
to mark the spot. The General Court appropriated 1500 
pounds, and a grant of the lands now comprising the towns 
of Lovell and Sweden to the survivors and heirs of the men 
who were lost. This we should consider a very liberal 
reward for such a murderous undertaking attempted chiefly 
for mercenary purposes upon a peaceful settlement of a dis- 
appearing race of men. 

Many of the Pequawkets removed to (-anada after the 
battle together with Adeawando, their chief, and united with 
the St. Francis tribe. At the beginning of the war with 
France the remnant of the tribe that had lingered around 
the old home place of their ancestors on the Saco, expressed 
a desire to live with the whites, and the^^ were accordingly 
removed to a suitable place about fifty miles from Boston, 
where was good fowling and fishing. These men were 
present at the Treaty of Falmouth in 1749, between the 
Eastern Indians and the whites. After the fall of Quebec a 
few members of the tribe remained about the head waters of 
the Connecticut until the beginning of the Revolution. The 
last mention of the tribe living at Pequawket was in a peti- 
*Hi8tory of Saco Valley Settlements. 



14 INDIAN ACCOUNT 

tion to the General Court dated at Fryeburg, in which the 
able bodied men asked for pjuns, ammunition and blankets 
"for fourteen warriors." These men served faithfully on the 
patriot side and were liberally rewarded by the government. 
After the war they returned to their families in the vicinity 
of Fryeburg where they were well remembered by the vener- 
able people of the last generation. Among those remem- 
bered were Tom Heagon, Old Philip and Swanson. Philip, 
the last known chief of the Pequawkets, signed a deed in 
1796, conveying the last rights of his tribe in Maine and 
New Hampshire to the men who had in two brief centuries, 
usurped their lands and with disease, annihilated the people 
that had for unknown centuries held unquestionable title to 
the entire Saco Valley. 



Histony of Pansonsfield. 



LOCATION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

The towu of Parsonsfield lies in the extreme northwest 
corner of York County. It is bounded on the north by the 
Great Ossipee river (River of Pines), on the west by EfRng- 
ham and Wakefield, N. H., on the south by Newfield and on 
the east by Limerick and Cornish. The area comprises 
about forty thousand acres. 

The surface of the town is considerably broken, its high- 
est elevation being Ricker's Mountain with an altitude of 
1600 feet above sea level. The two next highest mountains 
are Cedar and Randall's Mountains in the order named. 
Seminary is about 1200 feet and the average altitude of the 
land in town is not far from 1000 feet. 

The principal river is the Great Ossipee with a total 
length of 33 miles and a drainage of about 240 square miles. 
Kezar Falls furnishes the best water power where there is 
descent in its waters of 50 feet in one mile. Other rivers are 
South River the next in size, the Bickford and Blaisdell 
streams which flow into the Little Ossipee. 

There are numerous ponds in tow^n, Province Pond being 
partly in town, while Long Pond and Mudgett's Pond are 
both good sized sheets of water wholly in town. 

All in all Parsonsfield can, in common with many other 



16 PARSONSFIELD 

towns, boast the beautiful scenery and healthful climate so 
characteristic ol the Old Pine Tree State. Scarcely a farm 
in town is without pure boiling springs of the purest and 
coldest water. Her natural facilities for the comfort of her 
citizens and the welfare and progress of the community are 
second to none. 



EARLY PROPRIETARY AND SETTLEMENT. 

In 1661, Fluellen, Sundy and Hobinowell, three noted 
Indian sagamores, conveyed to Maj. Wm. Phillips, of Saco, 
a tract of land bounded in part as follows: — 

"From the Saco River up the Ossipee to Ossipee Pond, 
thence to Ossipee Mountain, thence to Humphrey Chad- 
bourne's loging camp." The territory comprising the town 
of Parsonsfleld, located within these bounds, was probably 
the hunting ground but not the home of the Ossipee Indians. 
The last of the savages disappeared from this region about 
1761, and after their departure white hunters roamed 
through the forest in quest of valuable furs. 

During the summer of 1771 Thomas Parsons, who had 
recently become a resident ol Leavittstown, having business 
in Saco, penetrated the woods in Parsonsfield. The beauti- 
ful scenery of the region and the fertility of the soil inspired 
him with a desire to settle here, and Aug. 5, 1771, he pur- 
chased the tract of proprietors claiming under will of Mrs. 
Bridget Phillips. Shortly after coming into possession of 



HISTORICAL 17 

the land he employed Joseph Cram, of Exeter, to survey his 
township. The survey, be^un Oct 11, 1771, and completed 
Nov. 1st of the same year, was the only full survey ever 
made. Parsonstown was wild land without organization 
up to 1785. 

Early in the spring of 1775 Eben and John Moore left 
Scarborough to make homes in the wilderness. Penetrating 
several miles beyond any known settlement, they settled in 
the southeast corner of Parsons' purchase. Here each 
cleared a little space, built a log cabin, and prepared for 
larger farm operations the next season. In June John 
joined the army investing Boston, but returned to his home 
at the expiration of a year's service. Eben left in August 
for his wife and child who arrived in October. 

The same spring, but probably a little later, John and 
Gideon Doe erected camps in this section and were joined by 
their wives and children before the close of the summer. 

Jere Avery, according to tradition, was also a pioneer. 
He came in 1776, settled on the western side of Ricker's 
Mountain where he lived until 1806. 

George Kezar, a noted hunter, brought his wife and 
three children to his favorite hunting camp near the Kezar 
meadow, January, 1778. 

Amos Blazo came in March of the same year. 

Gilman, Samuel and John Lougee, brothers, came short- 
ly afterward. Samuel Pease made ready a home for his wife 
and daughter who came in November, 1779. 

These eleven households, comprising eleven men, nine 
women, one maiden, seven imported and seven native born 



18 PARSONSFIELD 

children, made up the whole population of Parsonstown at 
the begiuninp^ of the year 1780. 

As the Revolutionary War drew to a close many soldiers 
sought homes in Parsonsfield. Other immigrants joined 
them bringing the population up to about three hundred at 
the time of organization.

INCORPORATION. 

The town of Parsonsfield was incorporated by act of the 
General Court of Massachusetts, approved March 9, 1785. 
The name was given to it in honor of Thomas Parsons, Esq. 

Under a warrant issued by Simon Frye, Esq., Justice of 
the Peace, the first town meeting was held at the house of 
Mr. Parsons, Aug. 29, 1785. Thomas Powers, Esq., was 
chosen moderator; John Doe, town clerk; Thomas Powers, 
John Doe and Gilman Lougee, selectmen; Samuel Page, col- 
lector and constable; Gideon Doe and Thomas Parsons, Jr., 
assessors; Elijah Piper, Josiah Colcord, James Marston and 
David Mudgett, tythingmen; Geo. Bickford, Taylor Page, 
Philip Paine, Gideon Doe and Samuel Lougee, surve^^ors of 



20 PARSONSPIELD 

highways; Job Colcord, field driver; Walter Neal, pound 
keeper; Edward Chase, surveyor of lumber; Jeremiah Avery, 
sealer of leather; Tauner Doe, lot layer; Samuel Pease, 
David Hobbs and Edmund Chase, committee to examine the 
selectmen's accounts. 



MILITARY HISTORY. 



Among the early settlers in what is now Parsonsfield 
were several veterans of the Revolution, sturdy pioneers 
enured to hardships and privation who, attracted by a 
desire to settle in the new country came to this section and 
joined in the upbuilding of the town. 

The military history of the town itself however really 
begins with a meeting to organize militia, held Nov. 5, 1789. 
The officers chosen to command the organization were 
Joseph Parsons, captain; James Morrison, first lieutenant; 
and Samuel Lougee, second lieutenant. Opposition to these 
men and feeling displayed at the election resulted in a 
division of the town and the formation of two companies of 
foot. Themilitarj' organizations continued for many years. 

WAR OF 1812. 
Capt. Rufus Mclntire recruited a company in York 
County for service in this war, and was commissioned in the 
regular army. He marched with his company to the north- 
ern frontier, was at Plattsburgh under Gen. Macomb, and 



HISTORICAL 21 

remained with the army until the close of the war. Not 
many citizens of this town entered the service in this war. 

In the Mexican war Parsonsfield had at least one soldier, 
Edwin A. Whitten, who was commissioned as lieutenant. 

CIVIL WAR. 

The response of the citizens of Parsonsfield to the call ot 
the President for troops at the outbreak of the War of the 
Rebellion was ready and loyal, and throughout the four 
long, dreadful years of suffering' and conflict the town was 
ever willing and prompt to contribute men and aid. 

Parsonsfield is credited with one hundreci and eighty-five 
soldiers, of which number ninety-eight were residents of the 
town. Many of these soldiei's were killed in battle, many 
others died of wounds or disease, several were taken prison- 
ers or were reported missing and the fate of others is un- 
known. Many of their comrades who survived the haid- 
ships and privations of this great war have since joined the 
ranks of the dead. 

We have not the space to recount the individual services 
and to give the record of these men and those of the soldiers 
who are with us still, and we must confine ourselves to the 
simple list of names. We can say of them all, however, that 
they did their duty and did it nobly and well, and that their 
bravery and loyalty are acredit and an honorto their town.

SCHOOLS 

The first town moetino- voted -flOO in prodnee for the 
support of schools in I'arsonsfield. Eiisha Piper and James 
Hart were early school masters, and tauj^ht in the first 
rough school houses of this town for many years. 

The citizens of Parsonsfield have always taken a g-reat 
interest in the welfare of the schools and the education of 
the young people of the town and have constantly increased 
the school appropriations when the need was felt. In ad- 
dition to the annual appropriation voted at the town meet- 
ing each year, there is a fund created from the sale of minis- 
teral and school lands, half of which, amounting to about 
$60 a year, goes to the support of schools. 

NORTH PARSONSFIELD SEMINARY. 

The North Parsonsfield Seminary was established under 
the auspices of the Free Will Baptist Church in 1833. The 
building was burned Sept. 21, 1854, and a new one erected 
at North Parsonsfield in 1855. 

The originators and chief leaders in this enterprise were 
Elder John Buzzell and Dr. Moses Sweat. Kev. Hosea 
Quimby was the first princi[)al, with a salary of $400 a 
year. A fund was formed for its support by the founders. 

The institution is considered an excellent ])reparatory 
school and draws students from all thesurroundingcountry.

CHURCH HISTORY 

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 

At the second town meeting of the citizens of Parsons- 
field, held in 1786, £90 were voted for preaching the ensuing 
year. The first meeting house was begun on the Middle 
road, after much fasting and prayer and many delays, in 
1790; but, as a Baptist sentiment prevented unity of action, 
the frame stood exposed to the weather for two years, when 
the town voted to finish the meeting house, and that it 
should be considered a town house. Either society was al- 
lowed the privilege of buying it on payment of the other 
society's investment. 

After two years further delay (in 1794), £25 were voted 
to repair the frame, and it was finished by the town. It 
was first voted to organize a church in 1792, and settle Rev. 
Benjamin Straw, who was employed to preach. Rev. Rufus 
Anderson succeeded Mr. Straw in 1793, and w^as in turn suc- 
ceeded by Rev. Benjamin Rolfe in 1795. 

Mr. Rolfe was a native of Newbury port, Mass., and a 
graduate of Harvard in 1777. His ministry in this town 
continued until May 31, 1815. He died here in 1817, at the 
age of sixty-two years. 

The Congregational Society was incorporated Feb. 27, 
1802, on petition of Thomas Parsons and twenty-seven 
others. The present church was built in 1830. 

Pastors since the Rev. Mr. Rolfe are as follows: Henry 
True Kelley, June 29, 1825-June 27, 1827; Chas. S. Adams, 



HISTORICAL 25 

Sept. 17, 1828-Dec. 27, 1831; David P. Smith, July 11, 
1832-Aug. 19, 1834; Samuel Ordway, Dec. 5, 1838-Dec. 8, 
1841; Elias Chapman, stated supply, 1849-1852; Jonas 
Fiske, stated supply for 1859; Edmund Burt for 1860; John 
H. Mordough for 1862; Geo. S. Kemp for half of 1864; N.

FREE BAPTISTS. 

The Free Will Baptist Church in Parsonsfield was organ- 
ized in 1790, by Elder Benjamin Randall, of New Durham, 
N. H., the founder of this denomination. Elder Samuel 
Weeks was the first pastor. Elder John Buzzell took the 
pastoral charge in 1798, and continued as pastor for about 
sixty years. During the last thirty years of his life he was 
assisted in his ministerial duties b}^ the teachers of the 
North Parsonsfield Seminary. 

The first house of worship occupied by the Society was 
of rude construction, and was soon replaced by a larger and 
more substantial building, erected at North Parsonsfield in 
1804. This was destroyed by fire in 1852, and a third one 
was erected soon after. 

The society was released from the support of the Con- 
gregationalist Society in 1795, but it was not until 1823 
that the members, with the other churches, began to draw 
their share of the towa fund arising from ministerial lands. 

Rev. L. Brackett commenced laboring with the church 
as assistant to Elder Buzzell in 1851. During his ministry 
the present church was built (1863). He was succeeded by 



26 PARSONSFIELD 

B. S. Mason in 1854. 

In 1857 C. Hurlin was made pastor, and remained until 
1860, when G. S. Bradbury was ordained. The later con- 
tinued as pastor for a period oi nearly five years. 

In 1865 C. Hurlin was called to a second pastorate, and 
remained until 1867, when E. C. Cook was appointed. Rev. 
L. Brackett succeeded Mr. Cook in 1871 and was in turn 
succeeded by Rev. F. F. Millett in 1878. Mr. Millett re- 
mained until 1882. The next pastor was the Rev. C. Jones

Mott (Limington), 1887-94; H. Church, 1895; S. D. Church, 
1896-8; W. Brown, 1899-1901; Henry Parsons, 1903-4; F.

and removals, is now small.

join in the services. A second meeting house was built 
about a mile and a halt farther east of the first, in 1844. 
This was occupied until 1878, when a larger one was erected 
in the village of East Parsonsfield at an expense of |1800. 

The Limington and Parsonsfield preparative meetings 
were set off from Windham, and became a separate monthly 
meeting March 8, 1846, under the name of the Limington 
Monthly Meeting and afterwards held services alternately 
at Limington and Parsonsfield. The society has gained

GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

The town of Newfield is bounded on the north by Par- 
sonsfield, on the east by Limerick and Waterborough, and 
on the south by Shapleigh and Acton, and on the west by 
Effingham, N. H. 

It presents a varied surface, Picket Mountain in the east 
rises to the south of Newfield village, and extending two 
miles to the south, culminates in the highest point near 
Shapleigh line. This is by far the highest point in town. 
Across the little Ossipee to the west are plains, beyond which 
beautiful lakelets border the more distant and broken lands, 
dotted with neat farm houses and showing signs of pros- 
perity and contentment. 

There are many natural deposits of silver, iron, lead and 
gold. Limestone occurs in various parts of the town. 
Prospect mining for silver has been conducted on Bald Hill, 
near Adams' pond, since 1876, and a vein 16 inches in width 
has been opened, but owing to lack of capital, little devel- 
opment has followed. 

Balch pond, in the southwest, lies partly in New Hamp- 
shire and partly in Newfield and Acton. It is drained by the 
little Ossipee river, which also receives the waters of Drew's 



HISTORICAL 39 

pond, flowing through Adams' pond in the center of the 
town, and Turner Pond in the south. The river forms the 
southern boundary of the original grant, passes through 
the town at the western slope of Picket Mountain, and turn- 
ing east, forms part of the boundary line between this town 
and Limerick. Poverty Pond in the east corner, and Simms 
near Adams' Pond, cover an area of about 200 acres each. 



LAND TITLES. 

The lands comprised in the original town of Newfield 
were a part of a large tract lying between the Great Ossipee 
and Little Ossipee Rivers, and "extending from the river 
Nechewannock to Saco River" conveyed by Capt. Sunday, 
Indian Sagamore, to Francis Small of Kittery, and was sup- 
posed to be equal to twenty miles square. Two large 
blankets, two gallons of rum, two pounds of powder, four 
pounds of musket balls and twenty strings of beads were 
given in payment. The deed was dated Nov, 28, 1668, and 
signed by the Indian's mark of a turtle. 

Small sold an undivided interest to Maj. Nicholas 
Shapleigh of Kittery, and April 30, 1711, transferred the 
remainder to his son. 

The original deed which had never been recorded was 
discovered among Samuel Small's papers in 1770. The 
heirs of Shapleigh and Small had it recorded, the title was 
confirmed and a partition was effected Aug. 5, 1771. The 
tract was run out by James Warren, surveyor, and to the 



40 NEWFIELD 

Small heirs were assigned all included between the Ossipee 
Rivers, except Parsonsfield and half of Limerick, the Shap- 
leigh heirs receiving title to land included in the original 
plantation of Shapleigh south of the Little Ossipee. 

April 9, 1778, the proprietors claiming and holding 
under Small, transferred to Elisha Ayer one-half ot a tract 
of land between Pearsontown and Little Ossipee River, and 
Limerick line and New Hampshire line, upon condition that 
he "lot the whole tract into one-hundred acre lots, and com- 
plete a check or plan of the same;" build a saw mill, clear 
two main roads through the tract, and settle twenty fami- 
lies upon his half. A survey was made during the year by 
John Wingate, and the number of acres found to be 14,543. 

That portion lying south of the Little Ossipee, and con- 
taining from 600 to 800 acres, was taken from Shapleigh, 
and annexed in June, 1844, The title to all these lands was 
confirmed by the committee on Eastern Claims, under the 
bill passed Oct. 30, 1782, and the tract became known as 
Washington Plantation. 



EARLY SETTLEMENT. 

In June, 1777, Paul McDonald and Zebulon Libby be- 
gan clearing land upon the two northeast corner lots in the 
town. Mr. McDonald said that Nathaniel Doe was already 
on his farm when they began clearing. This would make 
Doe the first settler in the town, but it is not known how 



HISTORICAL 41 

much earlier he came. The Doe family occupied the only 
house in the southwest part of the town for some years. It 
was near Davis' Corner. 

McDonald and Libby cleared sufficient land in 1777 to 
raise a crop of rye, which they planted, built a log house for 
each, and returned to their homes in Scarborough to spend 
the winter. The next year they returned with their families. 
Mary, daughter of Zebulon Libby, was the first white child 
born in the town. She married a Mr. Milliken. 

One York settled upon the southeast side ol Dunnel's 
Hill previous to 1780, but removed in 1785. A Mr. Berry 
from New Durham, N. H., came in 1780, but being a loyalist 
removed to Canada at the close of the Revolution. 

During the year 1780, William and Eben Symmes came 
from Ipswich, Mass., and settled at the north of Symmes' 
Pond, on the old road leading from the village to West 
Newfield. 

Geo. Thompson, father of Daniel and Geo. Thompson, 
came from Scarborough and settled upon the Benj. Piper 
farm. 

Ephraim Moulton came from Hampton, N. H., with his 
four sons, — Stephen, David, Levi, and Simeon,— and settled 
near the north line of the town, east of North Newfield, on 
the south Parsonsfield road, all five taking adjoining lots. 

Elijah Drew came from Durham and purchased the Cape 
Ann right, but did not move hisfaraily into town until 1789. 
He settled at Drew's Corner, half a mile east of the pond 
bearing his name. Rev. John Adams, also from Durham, 
came in 1780 or '81. Leander Nelson of Portsmouth, N. H., 



42 NEWFIELD 

settled in the centre ol the town, on land where the village 
of West Newfield is eitnated. Joseph Dam, of Madbury, 
N. H., settled at what is now Newfield Village, in 1784, and 
a few months later removed to Davis Corner, a mile north- 
east of Drew's Pond. 

Thos. Smith, who moved Rev. Mr. Adams to Newfield in 
an ox-cart, settled east of Picket Mountain in 1785. Thos. 
Davis, a brother-in-law of Elijah Drew, settled near Na- 
thaniel Doe. James Crummett who had a farm on the Mid- 
dle road, sold to a Mr. Hill in 1785-86, and went away. 
All these were from Durham, N. H. 

Elisha Ayer, the chief proprietor, moved to Washington 
Plantation in 1790, and settled on the farm south of Sym- 
mes' Pond, afterwards owned by Ichabod Knox. James 
McLellan, his wife's brother, came from Saco the next year 
and settled near Home Pond. Valentine Bagley, of Dur- 
ham, settled near Mr. Davis in 1790. Zachariah Dunnels 
came from Newburyport, Mass., in 1794-95. Benj. Loud of 
Portsmouth, N. H., came in 1797. Stephen Piper, from 
Stratham, N. H., settled on the Asa Piper place. John 
Mitchell and Joseph Towne, of Kennebunk, settled on Moun- 
tain Road. The place where Jethro Smith settled has since 
been known as "Old Rye Field." 

Simeon Tibbetts was an early settler as was also Hosea 
Lord, a liscensed innkeeper, in 1804. Josiah Towle, Wm. 
Durgin, David Staples, Elijah Drew and James Ayer, were 
merchants the same year. 

The first chaise in town was owned by Rev. John Dame.

MILITARY ACCOUNT. 

THE REVOLUTION. 

Many of the first settlers here came direct from service 
in the Revolutionary armies. The following were among 
them: James Crummett, Wm. Campernell, enlisted in Mas- 
sachusetts, Eben Boothby, enlisted from Scarborough; Wm. 
Symmes, from Ipswich, Mass., wounded at Bunker Hill; 
Eben Symmes, who fought at the battle of Monmouth; Rob- 
ert Thompson, who was at the surrender of Burgoyne; Geo. 
Thompson, Wm. Libby of Kittery, at surrender of Bur- 



48 NEWFIELD 

goyne; Stephen Wood, who fought under Arnold, and was 
taken prisoner at Quebec; Nicholas Kinnison who was pres- 
ent at the hanging of Major Ardre; Jaraes Heard, Simeon 
Tibbetts in both Army and Navy; Simeon Moulton who 
fought under Gen. Gates, and was taken prisoner; David 
Moulton and Josiah Hobbs. 

WAR OF 1812. 

Under the call made for soldiers to defend the coast o^ 
Maine, five men were drafted from each company of the reg- 
iment of militia in the northern part of York county, and 
Capt. Ayer, the senior captain of the regiment, marched 
with them to Kittery. 

This town was at that time divided into the eastern and 
western military districts, and had a company in each. 
Stephen Piper, Pelatiah Piper, John Drew, Robert Drew, and 
George McLellan were seleetcd from the eastern company; 
John Heard and four others from the western company. 
John Hobbs and John Drew joined them afterwards as musi- 
cians. Geo. McLellan died in the service. 

NEWFIELD IN THE REBELLION. 

It was but natural that a town like Newfield, whose citi- 
zens were descendants of men who helped to win the inde- 
pendence of our country, should keep alive the old-time pa- 
triotism in which she was founded, and in which her sons 
were nurtured, and when troops were called to defend the 
Union should give her bravest and noblest sons to the ser- 
vice of our country. The conduct of these men in camp and 



HISTORICAL 49 

on the battlefield was an honor to the noble men whose sons 
they were, and reflects the greatest credit on their native 
town.

BAPTIST CHURCH. 

A Baptist Society of fifteen members was formed in 
1806. For many years the members held meetings in dwel- 
lings and barns at the east and west side of the town alter- 
nately. The first settled minister was Rev. Wm. Goodwin. 
He was ordained at West Newfield, in 1810, remained six 
years, and afterwards became a Free Will Baptist, and re- 
moved to Milton, N. H. Rev. Shubael Tripp, from Hebron, 
succeeded Mr. Goodwin. He remained four or five years. 

In 1833 the Society united with the Congregationalists 
and Free Will Baptists, and built the meeting house at New- 
field Village. Rev. Mr. Roberts was the minister at that 
time. At one time the Society numbered sixty members.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

Shapleigh contained originally 32,150 acres, but was 
afterwards reduced about one-half by the erection of the 
town of Acton from its western half, and the annexation of 
apart of the north end by Newfield. It is bounded on the 
north by Newfield, on the east by Waterborough and Alfred, 
on the south by Sanford, and on the west by Acton. 

Mousam Pond, nearly five miles in length on its western 
border, is the largest body of water wholly within the 
county. Square Pond, the next in size, lies half a mile to 
the northwest, and partly within the town of Acton. These 
ponds form the head waters of the Mousam River, which 
flows southwest through Sanford and Kennebunk, and emp- 
ties into the ocean. Granny Kent, Sly Beaver and two 
lesser ponds in the north are surrounded by plains, consti- 
tuting nearly one-third of the town. Bump-Box Brook and 
the two branches of Heath Brook are the main water 
courses. 

The southern and central parts are diversified by low 
marshes, arable swells or light ridges and precipitous hills. 
The soil upon the plains is poor, but adapted to grass, while 
the higher lands produce fair crops of corn, wheat and rye, 
richer grasses and abundant crops of apples and other 



58 SHAPLEIGH 

hardy fruits. Cider has been a leading product for many 
years. Since 1870, the foreign demand for fruit has made 
apples a leading product. 

The soil abounds in iron from the disintegrating rock. 
Coarse granite and quartz are abundant, and many indica- 
tions of mineral deposits are found. Some specimens of 
galena and silver ores were obtained from rock blasted in 
sinking a well at Emery's Mills in the southwest corner in 
1879. 



EARLY PROPRIETARY. 

The lands included in the present towns of Acton and 
Shapleigh were at first supposed to be a part of the Ossipee 
purchase of Francis Small. The Ossipee lands lay between 
the Great and Little Ossipee Rivers, and were bought of the 
Sagamore of Nechewannock, Capt. Sunday, in 1668. 

Maj. Nicholas Shapleigh of Kittery, purchased an inter- 
est from Mr. Small, but the deed being lost and not recorded, 
no attempt was made to occupy these lands until the dis- 
covery of the old deed in 1770, by the descendants of Mr. 
Small, when the heirs of the two proprietors at once had it 
placed upon record and proceeded to establish their claims. 

Under the direction of Joshua Hubbard and Dependent 
Shapleigh, committee, the lands were run out in tracts by 
James Warren, surveyor. A partition was effected Aug. 5, 
1771, and the Shapleigh heirs were assigned Parsonsfield, 



HISTORICAL 59 

half of Limerick, and a body of land lying south of the 
Little Ossipee River, to which they gave the name of Hub- 
bardstown Plantation in honor of Joshua Hubbard. The 
title to this land was sustained only by a liberal interpreta- 
tion of the deed which called for more than was included 
within the boundaries described. The previous grantees, 
heirs of Mason and Gorges, contested their title, and the 
case was brought before the committee on Eastern Lands, 
who after carefully considering the matter, reported a bill 
confirming their claims to the territory "on condition they 
reserve the lots already appropriated for public use, and pay 
four hundred pounds into the State treasury." 

The bill was passed Oct. 30, 1782, and signed by Gover- 
nor John Hancock. The proprietors afterwards purchased 
from the heirs of Maj. Wm. Phillips, a piece containing some 
six or eight hundred acres in the northeast corner — since set 
off to Newfield— for £60. In 1774 and 1776, most of the 
town was surveyed and laid out in lots by Joseph Warren, 
assisted by Gilbert Warren and Joseph Hasty, chainmen, 
after which they were drawn for by the proprietors. Lands 
proving to be of inferior quality were made up to the person 
drawing by additional land from the unappropriated lots. 

Strips three rods wide running north and south were left 
between ranges for roads. The ranges commence at the 
southwest corner of Acton and number east. The lots com- 
mence numbering at the south. 

Previous to the decision of the title in 1782, about forty 
persons had settled in the eastern part of the town and 
made improvements. They claimed no title to their lands, 



60 SHAPLEIGH 

but were voted by the proprietors the opening each had 
cleared, and an equal number of acres of wild land adjoining 
with the privilege of buying the remaining portions of the 
lots upon which they were located at |2 an acre. They were 
required to sign a relinquishment of all other lands in the 
plantation. 



EARLY SETTLEMENT 

In 1772, Simon Emery of Berwick built a dam across 
the Mousam River at the outlet of the lower pond, and 
erected a saw mill. Two hundred acres of land were laid 
out for him in September. His was the first building in town 
of which any record is given. 

Joseph Jellison and his son Joseph moved in early in the 
spring of 1773, and began the first clearing below the mill. 
Building a cabin of logs, they returned to Doughty's Falls 
for their household goods, and the other members of the 
family who came later. 

James Davis and William Stanley came from Kittery 
with their families in the spring of 1774, and settled on 
Stanley Ridge. William Stanley, Jr., the first white child 
born in this town, was born here previous to 1782. 

Geo. Ham came in 1775, bringing with him several 
workmen to assist in clearing land. One of these, a Mr. 
Hammond, was killed by a falling tree. This was the first 
death in the town. 



HISTORICAL 61 

John Patch and Jas. Say ward, neighbors of Mr. Ham 
in Kittery, followed him soon after his arrival and settled 
near. 

Capt. Philip Hubbard, one of the proprietors, was 
among the earliest settlers. 

A meeting of the proprietors was held in 1778, at which 
a census of inhabitants was reported, and 150 acres of land 
set aside for the support of schools. Simon Emery was 
voted the lot upon which he had built his mill. Dominicus 
and Ichabod Goodwin, who had bought out the Jellisons, 
received a large tract and one-half the Emery mill-privilege, 
on the payment of £60. 

Capt. Joshua Trafton, and Samuel Trafton, who had 
lost an arm in the Revolutionary War, were each granted 
100 acres in Range 1; Nathaniel Kent, a blind man, was 
awarded four times as much as he had cleared on the piece 
he had taken up near the Little Ossipee. Joseph Jellison re- 
ceived 300 acres, and his son, Joseph Jellison, Jr., received 
200 acres of land for having been the first settlers in town. 

In 1781, 100 acres each were granted to Gilbert Warren, 
Joseph Hasty, and Darling Huntress, upon which they set- 
tled soon after. 

In accordance with the vote of the proprietors, the fol- 
lowing persons, who had settled in the town previous to 
1782, were granted lands: 

On Range No 1 — John Giles, 30 acres; John Davis, 37 
acres; Joseph Giles, Jr., 50 acres; Daniel Giles, 90 acres; Jo- 
seph Moody, 24 acres;|,Nathaniel Thing, 35 acres; Ebenezer

ton, 12 acres; Deacon Jonathan Ross, 16 acres; Benj. Good- 
win, 40 acres; Deacon Thos. Shackley, 40 acres; Chas. Em-

Nathaniel Kent, a blind man, 39 acres; Jos. Jones, 10 acres; 
Jethro Smith, 6 acres; Abigal Kent, 6 acres; David Maxwell, 
Jr., 14 acres. 

Wm. Stanley, one of the first settlers, Simon Richards, 
and Saul Emery, Jr., refused to sign the relinquishment, and 
received no land. 

The census of 1778 gives the following names, which in 
most cases differ from those given above, as receiving land 
grants four years after: Moses Abbott, Wm. Bean, John 
Carr, Benj. Connor, Daniel Cook, Jonathan Copp, John Con-

INCORPORATION. 



The town of Shapleigh was incorporated March 5, 1785, 
and named in honor of its original proprietor, Maj. Nicho- 
las Shapleigh. Previously it had been known by the name 
of Hubbard's Town, having taken that name from Joshua 
Hubbard, one ol Maj. Shapleigh's heirs, and a leading pro- 
prietor. 

Shapleigh was the thirty-fifth town incorporatad in the 
district of Maine. There were more than 100 ratable polls 
in the town at that date. 

The first election of town oflicers was held in the West 
Parish (now Acton), May 3, 1785, under a warrant issued 
to Benjamin Chadbourne, Esq. John Cook was Moderat- 
or of the meeting, Joshua Brackett was elected Town Clerk; 
John Cook, Simon Ricker and Joshua Brackett, Selectmen; 
Wm. Rodgers, Treasurer. The town, owing to a range of 
ponds and barren plains, extending through its centre, was 
divided into the eastern and western parishes. The town 
house was first used in 1847. 

The West Parish was incorporated as a separate town 
under the name of Acton, March 6, 1830. In June, 1844, 



64 SHAPLEIGH 

some 600 or 800 acres joining the Little Ossipee River, and 
including Picket Mountain and Poverty Pond, were annexed 
to the town of Newfield. That part of the town west of the 
Mousam River was returned from Acton in 1831.

ing house to supply those who could not supply themselves 
with arms and ammunition, and to furnish three days 
rations for soldiers leaving the town in obedience to the 
draft made from the militia companies to defend the coast. 
Among those who went were Zaccheus Trafton, Jacob 
Ricker, Tobias Pillsbury, who was killed on guard at a 
bridge on Lake Champlin, Arthur Bragdon, William Webber, 
Heard Brackett. 



CIVIL WAR. 

The military record of the town of Shapleigh is a source 
of just pride to its honored families who sent men to the 
front during the great Civil War. Too much praise cannot 
be given to those true and patriotic men who enlisted and 
served in this struggle for the preservation of the Union and

CHURCHES. 



FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

preachers held meetings in Shapleigh, and some of the citi- 
zens united with this denomination. In this year a meeting 
house was built at Emery's Mills, and regular worship held. 

In 1844, the membership had become so reduced, 
through removals, that the meetings ceased, and the meet- 
ing house was sold. A second Society was formed at North 
Shapleigh, as a part of the Newfield charge.

SCHOOLS 

At a meeting: of the proprietors of Shapleigh, in 1778, 
it was voted that 150 acres oi land be reserved for the sup- 
port of common schools in the town. This property was 
afterward sold for f 1,034.18, and forms the local school 
fund, the income of which is yearly expended in support of 
common schools. At the same meetino', in 1778, 300 acres 
were reserved for the benefit of Harvard College. The first 
school committee was Whitney Stevens, Reuben Buck and 
Wm. Trafton. 

The first recorded action taken for schools by the town 
was in 1790, when it was voted to raise £40 for the use of 
schools. In 1791, the town was divided into two districts, 
and £50 raised. After that £60 were raised annually, on an 
average, up to 1802. Then, for about twelve years, |600 
annually. From 1822 to the division of the town, in 1830, 
about .|1,000 were raised and expended annually. New dis- 
tricts were constituted from time to time to meet the 
wants of the people, until in 1830 there were 21. The town 
was then reorganized with 11 districts, which number was 
continued for man}' years.

History of Jlcton 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The town of acton, formerly a part of the plantation of 
Hubbardstown and the town of Shapleig;h, is bounded on the 
north by Newfield, on the east by Shaplei^h, on the south 
by Lebanon, and on the west by the towns of Wakefield and 
Milton, N. H. The surface is diversified by hills, valleys, 
plains and rolling areas. The greatest altitude occurs in 
the centre and northwest, where a deep circular valley has 
received an appropriate title, "The Hopper," so named from 
its resemblance to the hopper in the grinding apparatus of 
a grist mill. 

A portion of the town, extending to Mousam River, was 
re-annexed to Shapleigh in 1831. The town was not at 
right angles with the west boundary line of the State be- 
cause it was run out in accordance with the old survey from 
the coast. This was remedied by purchasing a gore on the 
northwest from Bridget Phillips and dividing the south gore 
with Lebanon. 

Acton is well watered, having within or upon its borders 
more fresh water than any other town in the county. Her 
ponds in order of size are. Northwest, partly in New Hamp- 
shire, extending three miles across the north end of the 



HISTORICAL 77 

town. Mousam, or Long, extending three miles along her 
eastern line. Square, partly in Shapleigh, and between 
Northeast and Long, flowing into Mousam. Wilson's, or 
Garvin's, a third of a mile south of Northeast, 640 acres in 
area. Horner's, half a mile to the east, empting into the 
Salmon Falls river. Baleh pond, forming two miles of the 
north boundary line. 

Near the plains and ponds is found a rather poor soil, 
but the uplands furnish a rough, stony, but productive soil, 
which is improved by her industrious farmers, producing an 
abundance of hay, grain, apples and grapes. 



LAND TITLES 

The lands included within the boundaries of this town 
were awarded to the heirs of Nicholas Shapleigh, in 177], 
as portion of their interest in the Ossipee tract, deeded by 
Capt. Sunday, Indian Sagamore, to Francis Small, the 
trader at Kittery in 1668. Mr. Small subsequently sold an 
interest in the Oysipee tract to Maj. Shapleigh. The lands 
included between the two Ossipee rivers not containing the 
number of square miles deeded by the Sagamore, the origi- 
nal town of Shapleigh was included in the survey by James 
Warren, surveyor, under direction of J. Hubbard and De- 
pendent Shapleigh, proprietors. 

A contest over the lands followed, Hon. James Sullivan, 
afterwards Governor of Massachusetts, undertook the de- 



78 ACTON 

fense for one half the plantation of Limerick. Before the 
Committee on Eastern lands, he got a decision favorable to 
his side in the shape of a bill on Oct. 30, 1782. 

The act required that the proprietors pay the common- 
wealth 400 pounds, and to make the usual reservations de- 
manded by the State in making grants. A compromise was 
made by the proprietors with the people who had settled 
formerly on the land, by obtaining from them a relinquish- 
ment of all title, in return lor which they granted to each 
twice as much land as he had cleared, and agreed to sell to 
each the balance of his lot at |2 per acre. Surveyor War- 
ren lotted the greater part of the town between the years 
1774 and 1776, and a part of the land was drawn by the 
proprietors. Fift^^-two 300 acre lots were included in the 
first drawing. 



SETTLEMENT. 



Benjamin Kimens, Clement Steele and John York, in the 
fall of 1776, made at Acton Corner the first settlement in 
this town. They were closely followed by Capt. Wm. Rog- 
ers, a proprietor of note, who built a bridge across the nar- 
rows of Mousam Pond, and a house, not far from the same 
time. The year 1776 marks the date of the bridge but it is 
not known just when he removed to the town. 

The first road was opened by John B. Hanson of Dover, 
N. H., under dirction of the proprietors, in 1776, and ex- 
tended from Lebanon line, east of Goding Brook, near the 



HISTORICAL 79 

Free Will Baptist Church, and passing north, past the 
houses of Kimens, Steele and York, to the Oseipee River. 
Many settlements followed, the greater part of them on 
poor land, which fact soon discouraged the pioneers to such 
an extent that their Bettlement was discontinued. Joshua 
Brackett was one of the permanent ones, coming here in 
1778, and settling at South Acton Corner. John Hussey 
settled half a mile southwest of this point. Gersham Ricker 
settled in 1779, not far from the Corner. 

In 1779, on the Salmon Falls River, near Wakefield, 
Joseph Parsons built a grist mill, the first in town. For 
this service and others, he was granted 200 acres in the 
third Range of Rights. In February of that year Paul 
Farnham, a soldier of the American Revolution, with his 
sons, Dummer, Ralph and Paul, came from Lebanon, and 
settled in the northwest part of the town where Paul, Jr., 
afterwards lived. In the course of the next month, John 
Woodman from Farmington, N. H., settled north of the 
Farnhams. 

Also in 1779, Daniel Hurd (or Heard), settled on a hill a 
mile south of South Acton, where a descendant, M. C. Hurd, 
was for years the postmaster. 

Benjamin Drew settled near the Lebanon line. Jonathan 
Young and Joseph and Samuel Sanborn, from Brinkwood, 
N. H., were here at an early date. Lands were sold at |2 
per acre. The settlers depended for food upon corn, fish, 
game and milk, of which there was almost always a goodly 
quantity. Prior to the erection of Emery's Mill, a rude 
hand mill at Mr. Woodman's ground the corn for the people 
of the community. 



80 ACTON 

The year 1791 marks a time of great interest of the 
question of whether there should be two meeting houses 
erected, and much interest was shown in the election of 
deacons and otherchurch officers, causinggreat activity and 
some dissention in the little community. The office of col- 
lector and constable was then one of high respectability and 
much sought after. In 1797 it was secured by Dr. C. 
Powers, being bid off at the rate of f 1.00 in the east parish 
and fifty cents in the west parish. By 1802 the competition 
had so increased that Stephen Marsh paid |25 for the office. 
In 1828 Luther Goding paid |40 for this privilege of gather- 
ing the tithes and its attendant honors. From that time 
on the town paid a small sum for the service. 

Joshua, John, Peter, Joseph and Jonathan Grant settled 
near each other in the north of the tow^n. Another Grant 
family, of which Elisha P. Grant was the head, came into 
town and settled in the south part prior to 1800. 

It is of interest in view ol the great discussion in our day 
over the question of liquor selling that in this town in 1820 
there were granted about 20 licenses for the sale of strong 
drink. Efforts were made to prevent its effect upon town 
election by passing a law that no liquor should be sold on 
the day of election, under penalty of revocation of the 
license, but this measure was so badly evaded as to result in 
repeal. 

The town farm in this town was bought with money re- 
ceived from the National Government by the distribution of 
1837. The decision to expend the sum in this manner was 
reached only after much discusssion. The Aaron Hubbard 
place was finally bought for |1800. 



HISTORICAL 81 

INCORPORATION. 

In March, 1825, a proposition to divide the town was 
defeated by a vote of 170 to 126. Tlie following September 
the question again arose, resulting in the passage of a 
resolve prohibiting action upon the matter for the next five 
years. To strengthen the bond of unity between the two 
factions, an appropriation of $5,000 was made for the 
betterment of roads, but the question of the enactment of 
the various provisions of this appropriation rendered its 
being carried out impossible. So in 1828 the questionof di- 
vision of the town once more arose. The contest which follow- 
ed was intensely exciting, and resultd in a vote favorable to 
division, 164 to 111. A committee consisting of Dr. R. 
Buck, John Bodwell, Elisha Bodwell, Dr. Wm. Lewis and J. 
C. Libby was appointed to petition the legislature to make 
the division on as nearly the old parish division as possible. 

The Act of Incorporation was passed March 6, 1830, and 
gave the new town of Acton the most from the total number 
of 2,950 population. 

The name of the town of Acton derived from the locality 
of one of the most important contests of the Revolutionary 
War, and was given in honor of the citizens ol the town who 
had participated in that war, ol whom Ralph Farnham was 
held in high esteem by his fellow-townsmen. 

The town meetings had been held in Acton till 1801 
when the honor was shared with the Eastern parish till the 
division of the town. The first town election in Acton was 
held at the Baptist meeting house on March 22, 1830. The 



82 ACTON 

town house was erected in 1842 and until that date, after 
1830, the meetings were held alternately in the Baptist and 
Congregational houses. By the terms of the act of incorpor- 
ation all lands within the bounds of Acton became the prop- 
erty of the town. All back taxes were collected by the old 
town, and all appropriations were divided equally. The 
town of Shapleigh retained the records, but any citizen of 
Acton should have at all times free access to examine and 
make copies and extracts therefrom, free of expense.

CHURCH HISTORY. 

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH— SHAPLEIGH AND ACTON. 

In 1778, the proprietors voted to reserve 300 acres on 
the east side of the Pond for the use of the Congregational 
ministry, the avails of which should be used for the Congre- 
gational minister settled in that parish. Also a hundred 
acre lot to be reserved for the first Congregational minister 
settled in the parish. Rev. Alpheus Spring of Kittery, 
preached to the first settlers as earl\' as 1774. 

A proprietary meeting house was built on the parsonage 
lot, and Aug. 18, 1794, a meeting of the town was 
held to ratify their action. The east side was released from 
any share in its cost, and it became the property of the West 
Parish. Rev. Joseph Brown became settled pastor in Janu- 



86 ACTON 

ary, 1796. Elder Wm. Godin was settled in the Western 
Parish in 1806, and Elder John Chadbourne in the Eastern 
Parish in 1818. 

In 1826, a small church was organized with Rev. Henry 
A. Merrill, settled pastor. A house for worship was com- 
menced at the Corner and some additions to the church 
received. Mr. Merrill received the 100 acre lot the proprie- 
tors had reserved for the first minister of this denomination. 
As the parsonage land yielded nothing, his support was 
insufficient and he left them in 1824. 

An act passed the Legislature the same year, authorizing 
the society to sell the parsonage lot, and a board of trustees 
was incorporated to hold the proceeds as a fund. This was 
done, and .fl650 received and invested, the income of which 
was expended in temporary supplies to neighboring pastors. 

From 1831 to 1836, the Rev. Clark Cornish supplied the 
church statedly half the time. Succeeding supplies were 
Revs. J. Caruthers, J. Kimball, Clement Parker and others 
for short periods. 

Mr. Amasa Loring, from the Bangor Theological Semi- 
nary, commenced preaching here in the autumn of 1841. 
He was received with favor, and June 15, 1842, was ordained 
over this church. The old meeting house which had never 
been furnished was taken down in 1872-73, and a neat one 
erected on a better location. A meeting house was erected 
at Acton Corner in 1827. 

Mr. Loring closed his labors in December, 1848, but con- 
tinued to supply until 1850, when he was succeeded by Rev. 
Wm. Peirce. Revs. James Fiske and F. P. Smith came next 



HISTORICAL 87 

and were followed by Rev. Wrn. S. Thompson, who began to 
supply here Jan. 1, 18(39, and continued until about 188G. 
Revs. William Merrill, 1887-9; W. CJ. Wade, 1890; W.Stuart, 
1892; J. B. Stuart, 1893; John A. Lawrence, 1894-6; 
Lorenzo Muttart, 1898-1900; C. N. Sinnett, 1903; Rev. H. 
S, Savory, 1901; and Rev. H. G. Bassler have been pastors 
of the church. 

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 

This church was organized in 1826, by Rev. William 
McKay. A meetino; house was erected at Acton Corner in 
1840. Pastors, Rev. Henry Linscott, 1837; Richard H. 
Ford, 1838; B. F. Foster, Jesse Stone, James Rice, James 
Harrington, A. P. Sanborn, H. B. Wardwell, 1882-3; S. D. 
Brown, 1884-5; A. W. Whitehouse, 1888; Robert Lawton, 
1893-7; W. A. Nottage, 1898-1900; Wm. Bragg, 1901-4. 

BAPTIST CHURCH. 

A Baptist church was formed by Rev. Nehemiah Davis in 
1781. He became the first minister, and in 1802, dedicated 
the first house of worship near the old Congregationlist 
house erected in 1796. This house cost |1500. The church 
was re-organized by Rev. Wm. Goding at a meeting held at 
the house ofMaj. Samuel Stacy, Jan. 3,1828, and became 
the Baptist church of Shapleigh and Milton. 

The meeting house at South Acton was built in 1841, 
and the old one afterwards was torn down. The pastors 
have been: Willard Glover, 1828; Chas. Emerson, 1828-34; 
James Jameson, N. G. Littlefield, 1845-50; W. T. Sargent,

Krumreig, 1900-02; W. S. Wescott, 1904. 

FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. 

In 1781, the settlement was visited by Elder Tozier 
Lord, of Berwick, who had left the Baptists and united with 
Elder Benjamin Randall at the founding of the Free Will 
Baptist Church. Meetings were held in an unfinished build- 
ing. A revival resulted in the forming of a society, which 
declined on the removal of the pastor a few years later. 

FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. 

The First Free Baptist Church was reorganized by Rev. 
Gershom Lord, in 1802, and consisted of 8 members. Sam- 
uel Runnells and Bart. Miller were first deacons, and Elder 
Lord was clerk. Rev. Gershom Lord was the first preacher, 
and was succeeded by Humphrey Goodwin, who was or- 
dained in 1807, and continued to preach until his removal 
to Hollis, in 1804. Elder David Blaisdell supplied from 
1815 to 1830. 

A house of worship was built in 1818, in the west part 
of the town, near Milton Mills, and replaced by a new one 
on the same ground, in 1840. 

Theodore Stevens became pastor in 1834, left in 1836, 
returned in 1839, and was succeeded, in 1843, by Elder J. 
Fullerton; by Horace Stanton, in 1847; and subsequently 
by Z. Jordan, Wm. Hurlin, Seth Perkins, Aaron Ayer, Dex-

about 1880, when Rev. H. P. Mansur came He remained 
until about 1885. The following have been pastors since 
that time: Revs. G. A. Anderson, 1887; C. E. Hurd, 1888-93; 
E. W. Fernald, 1894-7; R. W. Churchill, 1898. 

SECOND FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. 

The Second Free Will Baptist Church was organized, a 
house of worship built by the Union Society of Acton in the 
south part of the town, and a meeting house erected in 
1840, under the labors of Rev. John Brooks. Joseph Hilton 
and Hubbard Stevens were the first deacons.

90 ACTON 

MILITARY MATTERS. 

It is sufficient to say that that portion of old Shapleigh 
which now comprises Acton, was settled and developed by 
men of sturdy courage and fortitude and strong loyalty to 
country. Ralph Farnham, of whom mention has been al- 
ready made in these lines as one of the first settlers, was 
born in 1756, and served in the continental army one year. 
In the fall of 1860 he visited Boston, at the invitation of 
prominent citizens of Massachusetts, and died soon after 
his return home, in December, 1860, at the age of 104 years. 
His memory is highly treasured by his townspeople. Jethro 
Hurd, whose family lived in the woods of Acton, left the 
army after the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, and 
walked home without his pay or a discharge. Moses Hub- 
bard also saw service in the Revolution, 

WAR OF 1812. 

The War of 1812 was not a popular measure in any of 
our Maine towns. Acton was opposed to it but met her 
duty with men and money. $300 was appropriated in 1804, 
and 64 pounds of powder, 100 pounds of balls, 100 flints^ 
and 3 camp kettles, for each company of 64 men, were 
bought. Guns and bayonets were purchased by the town 
for those who could not afford to buy them. A committee 
of three, Andrew Rogers, Thos. Drew, and Jona. Young, was 
appointed in 1808, to petition the United States Govern- 
ment against the Embargo act. 

The Militia was called out in 1814 for the defense of the 
coast towns, on the approach of the British fieet, and Ac- 



HISTORICAL 91 

ton's force was prompt to respond. Among the soldiers of 
this War were: Heard Brackett, Samuel Drew, Phineas 
Wentworth, Jno. Drew, and several others, mentioned under 
the quota of the town of Shapleigh. 

Ebenezer Ricker served in the Florida War. 

CIVIL WAR. 

It was reserved for the period of the last half of the past 
century to try the mettle of our towns and states. The 
opening of the Civil War awoke the echoes of the greatest 
conflict of modern times, if not of all time, and while the men 
of the north failed at first to realize its full significance they 
soon awoke to the reality oi the struggle before them and 
prepared for it with men and money. Acton met her re- 
sponsibility with her accustomed loyalty and patriotism. 
Her sons went forth and w-ere found in the places of danger 
and suffering throughout the contest. Their memory will 
always be sacred in the hearts of their friends and descend- 
ants in this town. We have compiled as nearly a correct 
list of the enlistments from this town as our opportunities 
would permit. The names follow:

Mistonv of Lebanon. 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

The town of Lebanon is bounded on the west by the 
Salmon Falls river, the state line between Maine and New 
Hampshire, on the south by North Berwick and Berwick, on 
the east by Sanford and on the north by Acton. The 
present town presents an area of about 40 square miles. It 
has been aup:mented by the addition of Bagly's and Chad- 
bourne's grants on the northwest and Baker's on the east. 
These grants were gores left between the different angles of 
Lebanon and other towns in their survey, because of the fact 
that one survey was parallel with the coast and the other 
with the meridian. 

The railway facilities of the town are fairly well adapted 
to the needs of the town. The Boston & Maine, formerly 
the Portland & Rochester, runs through the southeasterly 
part of the town with a station at Eastwood. The Conway 
and Wolfboro branch of the Boston & Maine runs through 
the northwesterly portion of the town, and has a station 
near the Three Ponds village in Milton. 



LAND TITLES. 

The General Court of Massachusetts, in 1733, passed a 
resolve to open four townships for settlement, three of which 
were to be in Massachusetts and one on the eastern side of 



94 LEBANON 

the Salmon Falls river, at the head of Berwick in York 
County. The limitation of territory was placed at 6 miles 
square, each. Sir William Pepperell, John Aiding- and 
Richard Milbury were appointed a committee to lay out 60 
lots in the most defensible manner for the settlers together 
with highways. They completed their survey, took the 
bonds required of settlers, made their return to the General 
Court together with the plan of the lots and highways as 
laid out and their doings were accepted in due time. The 
60 lots were ready lor assignment in October, 1733. 

On account of the frequency of Indian Wars the Court 
required that all new towns be laid out in the most defensible 
manner possible. 

In 1735 the township was confirmed to Jos. Chadbourne, 
Nathan Lord, Jos. Hartt, Ichabod Goodwin, Edward 
Arnold, Elisha Plaisted and 54 others, their associates, with 
the following bounds: Beginning on Berwick Head line, at 
Lower Stair Falls in Newicbawannock river, and running 
northeast by east, on Berwick line 6 miles and 200 rods; 
then northwest by north 6 miles and 80 rods; then south- 
west by west by Massachusetts lands, and lands granted to 
Jona. Bagly Esq., to Salmon Falls river; then southerly by 
said river to the place of beginning. All holding land at the 
present time within these limits hold by virtue of this act 
and not by any Indian Deed. 

The proprietors were required to make actual settle- 
ment within two years, to each clear eight acres of land fit 
for mowing and tillage, and to build each a dwelling house 
at least 18 feet square and 7 feet posts. They were also re- 



HISTORICAL 95 

quired to build a meeting house and settle a learned minis- 
ter, denominated othodox or protestant, and to provide for 
his support. For this purpose and for the support of 
schools there were reserved three lots,— one for the ministry, 
one for the first settled minister, and one for the support of 
schools within the town. A bond of 20 pounds was exacted 
from each settler. 

SETTLEMENT. 

Berwick, Kittery, York, Somersworth and Dover fur- 
nished the greater [)art of the proprietors of the new town, 
but few, if any at all, ever settled within the limits of the 
town. 

The proprietors, under the lead of William Pepperell, com- 
menced their labors by laying out a highway from Berwick 
Head line, at a point two hundred and thirty-six rods north- 
east by east from Salmon Falls river and extending north- 
west by north in the township, a distance of three miles. 

Along this highway 63 "home-lots" were laid out var^'- 
ing from 25 to 35 acres, one of which was allotted to each 
original proprietor, one to the first minister, one to the min- 
istry and one to schools. 

The lots were surveyed by Jos. (>hadbourne, surveyor, 
Samuel Mill "Ceny"(?) EbenezerMoulton,ISr.,chainman, who 
were sworn to their duty by William Pepperell. The plan 
was accepted by the General Court March 24, 1735, and the 
lots were drawn by the following persons: 

Moses Abbot, B. B. Allen, Edward Arnold, Nathan Blod- 
gett, Jona. Bowers, Ebenezor Blaisdell, Thos. G. Butler, Ch.

Zachariah Emery, Chas. Frost, Jr., Ralph Farnum, Jas.

Jos. Peevey, Jas. Parker, Daniel Smith, the school lot, Jno. 
Stevens, Samuel Sewell, Jere Sprague, Jos. Sayward, Benj. 
Thompson, Abel Whitney. 

Many of the above never made any pretence of complet- 
ing a settlement upon their lots as drawn above. The set- 
tlement was slow and the proprietors were obliged to apply 
to the General Court for an extension of time. The most 
reliable information goes to show that there was no real 
settlement of the town until 1746. The first settlers were 
these: Farnham, Copp, Door, Hussey, Rines, Stevens, Blais- 
dell, Tebbetts, Kenney, Wallingford, McCrelis, Perkins, Cor- 
son, Burrows, Goodwin, Yeaton, Furbush, Cowell. 

These do not in all probability, include all the names, 
but gives the most accurate list obtainable today. 



HISTORICAL 961 

PROPRIETARY GOVERNMENT AND 
INCORPORATION. 



The first proprietors' meeting was held on Oct. 15,1735, 
at the house of Samuel Lord, in pursuance to a warrant 
issued by Jno. Hill, Esq., of Berwick. Sam'l Came was 
chosen moderator, and Joseph Hartt clerk. Elisha Plais- 
ted, Jas. Grant and Richard Lord were elected a committee 
to order the prudential affairs of the town, assessors, col- 
lectors and "agents to prosecute any persons who should 
make any trespass on the common and undivided lands." 

The Committee were ordered at this meeting among other 
things to clear one acre of the minister's lot, and open the 
highways. 60 pounds were voted for roads. The town was 
not named by them till its incorporation in 1767, though 
the Indian term for the location was "Towweh." 

The following are some of the more important dates and 
events during the proprietary period: 
1737 — Joseph Hartt became treasurer of the proprietors 

government. 
1738—8 Acres of land cleared on the ministers lot. Survey 

of rivers made to find best place for saw mill. 
1741— Decided to divide all the land from Zera Sprague's to 

the river, including the west part of the town between 

hetroad and Salmon Falls River. 
1742— Voted to build a meetiug house "35 x 42, two stories 

high, jutting over." 



962 LEBANON 

1744— Meeting- held to agree on building a sufficient fortifi- 
cation to "defend His Majestie's Subjects." 

1749— Great fire, supposedly set by Indians, destroyed much 
timber. 

1753 — Frame for meeting house raised. Boarded and 
shingled and furnished inside the following year. 
Located on the ministry lot. 

1755 — Minister procured for four Sabbaths. 

1765 — Rev. Isaac Hasey settled as minister. 

INCORPORATION. 

This town was nameless till 1767, having been known as 
"The new township at the head of Berwick, on the east side 
of Little Falls River." Its name first occurs in the act of 
incorporation, which received its passage June 13, 1767, and 
was signed by the governor four days later. In accordance 
with its provisions a warrant was issued by Benj. Chad- 
bourne, justice of the peace, to Joseph Farnham, for the 
meeting to be held at the meeting house September 14th of 
that year to choose officers. The meeting was called to 
order and the following were elected to office: Jos. Farnham, 
moderater; Rev. Isaac Hasey, clerk; Tristram Copps, Jos. 
Farnham, Jos. Farnham Jr., selectmen; Howard Burrows, 
constable; Philip Door, Sr., Samuel Corson, surveyors of 
highways; Richard Hussey, Samuel Corson, fence viewers 
and field drivers, Joshua Kenney, Gilbert Perkins, hog- 
reeves; Joseph Farnham, Tristram Copps, Richard Dorr, 
Wardens. 

The first gubernatorial election held in this town 
occurred in 1787, when the entire vote, 53, was cast for 
John Hancock. 



HISTORICAL 963 

At a meeting held March 12, 1787, to erect a new meet- 
ing house near the centre of the town, the following oath of 
allegiance was administered by the moderator, it being 
demanded in no undertain terms that all public officers be 
intensely loyal: 

"I, do truly and solemnly acknowledge, profess, 

testify and declare that the Common Wealth is and of right 
ought to be a free sovereign and independent State, and I 
do swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the 
said commonwealth, and that I will defend the same against 
treacherous conspiracies and all hostile attempts whatso- 
ever, and that I do abjure and renounce all allegiance, sub- 
jection and obedience to the King, Queen or government of 
Great Britian, and every other foreign power whatsoever, 
and that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or poten- 
tate, hath or ought to have, any jurisdiction, superiority, 
pre-eminence or power in any matter civil, ecclesiastical or 
spiritual within the commonwealth, except the authority 
and power which is or may be vested by their constituents 
in the Congress of the United States; and I do further testify 
and declare that no man or body of men hath or can have 
any right to absolve or discharge me from the obligation of 
this oath, declaration or affirmation, and that I do make 
this acknowledgement, profession, testimony, declaration, 
denial, denunciation and abjuration heartily and according 
to the common meaning and acceptation of the foregoing 
words without any Mental Evasion or Secret Reservation 
Whatsoever, So help me God."

CIVIL WAR. 

The record of each soldier in the great civil war is suffi- 
cient for his town's glory. We of today can add nothing by 
our words to what they have done. The simple mention of 
their names is all that we can do and it is sufficient. The 
list follows:

CHURCHES 



CONGREGATIONAL. 



In 1742, in accordance with the provision of their grant 
the proprietors ordered the building of a church. But a 
lack of funds prevented its erection until 1753-4. There 
was no minister till the spring of 1754, April, when one ser- 
vice was held, and in June when another was held. The fol- 
lowing year the extent to which the spiritual side of the 
community was ministered was doubled, there being an ar- 
rangement for preaching four Sabbaths during the year. 

In 1758, Rev. Ezra Thompson was engaged to preach 
four months. Rev. M. Pike was one of a committee, in 1763, 
to hire a minister, but it is not known whether he ever 
preached here himself. Rev. Isaac Hasey was Lebanon's 
first settled minister, his pastorate beginning about Jan. 



HISTORICAL 9G11 

26, 1765. He was ordained at the house of Ephraim Blais- 
dell, June 26, 1765, and a church covenant signed the same 
day by Revs. Isaac Hasey, Jos. Farnham, Ephraim Blais- 
dell, Edward Burrows, Richard Door, and Jos. Farnham, 
Jr. Mr. Hasey was to receive, according to his agreement 
with the proprietors, $290 during the first eight years of 
his ministry, and |245 per year after that time, so long as 
he continued to be the town's minister; also the use of the 
house they had built for him, as well as the use of all the 
ministerial lands in town, and the lots drawn for the first 
minister. 

Mr. Hasey moved with his family into the house pro- 
vided, and continued to occupy it for some years. Later he 
was given the house by the proprietors, and he moved it to 
one of two home lots he had acquired by purchase or other- 
wise, to the south of the meeting house. At this point, in 
this same house, improved and added to from time to time, 
he continued to live till his death, in 1812. Mr. Hasey's 
pastorate lasted forty-seven years, almost half a century, 
beginning when he was but 24 years. The first birth re- 
corded in town is that of his son, Isaac, Jr., with the date 
of June 21, 1766. 

In 1771 the town voted to repair the church building 
and the work was done the following year, many changes 
being made to the great improvement of the structure. 
Until 1786 the people continued to worship here, but at that 
time, there having been a great iufiux ol settlers in the 
vicinity of Little Falls, a vote was passed that the meetings 
on Lord's day should be holden one-half the time at the 
centre of the town. 



9612 LEBANON 

Since the proprietors had failed to meet the miDister's 
salary, it became necessary to petition the General Court in 
1787 askinjyfor jurisdiction over the lands sufficient to en- 
force its collection. Their demands were complied with. 

By 1796 the population of the town had so increased 
that the town voted to erect a new meeting house at the 
centre. Two years later, 1798, this was done and the peo- 
ple provided with a much larger and better furnished edi- 
fice. 

In October, 1812, occurred the death of Rev. Mr. Hasey, 
at the age of 71. His demise was the occasion ot sincere 
regret as he had been a faithful pastor and an able preacher. 
His death was a distinct loss to the town. Rev. PaulJewett 
succeeded Mr. Hasey, coming into town in December 1812, 
and being ordained April 13, 1814, at the house of Deacon 
Jno. Moody. He was dismissed at his own request Oct. 5, 
1819. 

Although Mr. Jewett's pastorate was short, it was pro- 
ductive of good, he being a man of resource, energy and deci- 
sion. Many were added to the church during his stay. 
However it was during his residence in town that thefamous 
lawsuit over the church property began, and was not settled 
till after much dissention had been engendered among all 
the inhabitants. The suit was finally closed with a victory 
for the parish, the lands being given to the Orthodox Con- 
gregational Society for the support of the ministry in 
accordance with the grant to the proprietors. 

It is recorded somewhere in the town traditions, that 
during this contest a party of each church— Baptist and 



HISTORICAL 9618 

CongTeg,atioii]i8t— set forth one Monday morning to cut the 
grass upon the ministerial lot. Both parties as the custom 
of the day called for, were bountifully supplied with the 
ardent. A deacon on one side and a particularly voluble 
member on the other, became engaged in a quarrel in which 
words were discarded in a large measure and a hand to 
hand encounter ensued. Soon the deacon was heard to cry 
from under his antagonist, "Take this fly off! Take this fly 
off!" From this quarrel the suit ensued. 

The funds of the church have been augmented by the fol- 
lowing: A fund of 1500 by Gen. Lord, South Berwick, 1820- 
23; a fund of |2000 by Hon. T. M. Weutworth, 1877. 

The following have been pastors ol the church since Mr. 
Jewett's departure: Rev. James Weston, Feb. 10, 1824 to 
Jan. 26, 1836; Rev. Joseph Loring, Oct. 12, 1836 to P'ebru- 
ary 1853. There was no settled minister for several years, 
though in 1856 or 1857, Rev. Mr. Fobes was ordained, but 
failing health prevented him frum assuming active work in 
the parish. Next came Rev. John H. Garmon, Sept, 18, 
1860 to Sept. 27, 1865; Benj. G. Page, Sept. 27, 1865 to 
1866; Rev. John Parsons, Nov. 9, 1869 to May 31, 1875; 
Rev. N. Sinnett, May 31, 1875; Rev. S. Dodge, 1878-84; Rev. 
J. S. Closson, 1885-8; Rev. H. E. Thygeson, 1889-90; Rev. 
VV. W. Dow, 3 891-2; Rev. J. S. Curtis, 1893-6. Rev. A. E. 
Lambert, 1897-9; Rev. Edw. C. Haynes, 1900-3; Rev. H. S. 
Savory, 1905-1906. 

BAPTIST CHURCH. 

As early as 1790 a few Baptist families were residing in 
the southeast part of the town. Six years later Deacon 



961* LEBANON 

Nath'l Guptill, of Berwick, became interested at an Associa- 
tion meeting and through his invitation a minister was sent 
here. The first meetings in Lebanon were held in a bark 
house belonging to Mr. Gowen. A number of conversions 
occurred here and in August, 1797, a Baptist society was 
formed. Not long after Elder John Chadbourne was engag- 
ed to preach for them for a period of six months. Deacon 
Guptill was baptized and united with the Santord Church. 
By 1799 they were voted the use of the old meetinghouse 
and also the new one whenever Mr. Hasey was absent. 
October 22, 1800, they united with others living in Berwick 
to the extent of 47 in all to form the Berwick and Lebanon 
Baptist Church. At the time of the division of the town of 
Berwick this church has been known as the North Berwick 
and Lebanon Church. Rev. Z. Delano was ordained pastor 
June 31, 1801, and remained pastor for exactly SO years, 
during which time there were added to this church 100 mem- 
bers. Supplies served till 1836-8, when Rev. John Boyd 
added 49 members to the Society, during two years while he 
was in charge of the church. 

The following presents a fairly accurate list ol the pas- 
tors following Mr. Boyd: 

Revs. J. E. Strong, 1839-44; J. K. Chase, 1845-47; Noah 
Hooper, 1847-49; Jno. Hubbard, 1852; B. F. Hubbard, 
1852-59; T.J. Swett, 1860-61; S. G. Gilman, 1862; A. H. 
Gould, 1863-66; G. D. Balentine, 1867; T. Bachelder; 1868- 
71. Colby University supplies till the settlement of W. H.

FREE BAPTIST. 

A Free Will Baptist Society and Church were organized 
in 1795. They bouj^ht the old meeting houHe and moved it 
to West Lebanon village where they continued to worship 
till 1832, when they tore itdown and erected a new houee on 
the cross-road a short distance east from where the old one 
had stood. We are unable to furnish a list of pastors prior 
to 1880, but include the names since that date: J. G. Mun- 
sey, 1881; A.. L. Hutchinson, 1881-3; F. E. Briggs, 1885-6; 
N. C. Lothrop, 1887-90; L. C. Graves, 1891 ; Chas. E. Foster, 
1892-4; F. B Nelson, 1895-8; H. H. Hathaway, 1899; S. A. 
Jones, 1900-02; to present vacant. 

The Second Free Will Baptist Society was organized in 
1834, made up principally of people in the northeasterly 
part of the town. They soon erected a house of worship at 
North Lebanon, where they still continue to worship. Their 
pastors since 1880 have been: To 1880, Geo. S. Hill; Fran- 
cis Reed, 1881-2; Jno. M. Pease, 1883-4; S. D. Church, 1885- 
6; A. H. Milliken, 1888-9; W. T. Smith, 1890-91; E. J.

SANFORD, MAINE 



Census-1907 



The population of the towns of Shapleigh, Newfield, Ac- 
ton, Lebanon ^nd Parnonsfield has been arranoed in fam- 
ilies where that arranoement has been possible. In ad- 
dition to the resident living' members, the names of the non- 
resident members are included. It should be borne in mind 
that this plan does not include the names of all former resi- 
dents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear 
only when one or both of the parents are still living in the 
town. After the name of each non-resident will be found 
the present address, when such address has been given to us. 
Non-residents are indicated by the (*). 

When a daughter in a family has married, her name 
taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- 
sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). 

Following the names ofthe population is the occupations. 
To designate these we have used the more common abbre- 
viations and contractions, as follows: Farmer — far; car- 
penter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member 
of an advanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member 
of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached 
the ag'e of five years) — pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; 
physician and surgeon— phy & sur; clergyman— clerg; mer- 
chant— mer; teacher— tr; blacksmith— blk; clerk— cl; book- 
keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic mech; raachinist- 
mach; engineer— eng; maker — mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; 
shoe shop operative— s sop; cotton or woolen mill operatives 
— mill op; weaver— weav; spinner — spin; electrician— elec; 
painter — ptr; carriage work— car wk; dress maker— dr mkr; 
insurance — ins; traveling" salesman, or commercial traveler — 
sales, or coml trav; music teacher — mus tr; teamster— team; 
general work— genlwk; mariner— mar; employ— emp; retired 
— retd; telephone operative— tel op; telegraph operative— 
teleg op. 

This Census was taken expressly for this work during the 
Summer of 1907, by Rev. B. V. Davis, of Kents Hill, Me.

SPRINCVALE HISTORY 

Several months ago a gentleman came to us and said, "Why do you 
have to charge more for your stravr matting than Chicago mail order 
houses? I sent there for some matting over four months ago and haven't 
received it yet, guess its gone up in Canada as we can't get trace of it." 

We asked him if he saw what he bought. 

"Why, no, but I thought from their description it was all right." 

"Would you buy of us without seeing goods?" 

"Probably not." 

"How many yards did you want?" 

"About thirty-two." 

"You had to buy a whole roll, did you not? Forty yards." 

"Yes." 

"Were you to pay for the goods on arrival?" 

"No, I had to send money with the order, four months ago." 

"Now, my friend, we will tell you just why it looks as though you were 
paying more for your goods here than from Chicago. In the fret place, 
here you see just the piece of goods you are purchasing, you buy juet the 
quantity you want, goods are deliveded at your home at once. If you 
want to pay for them on arrival we allow a liberal discount. You have 
no freight charges to settle, no damages to fix up with the railroad com- 
pany, everything is unpacked ready for use. And when you take into 
consideration the freight and bother, carting etc. together with the grade 
of goods you get you will be surprised to find that you have not saved 
any money." 

We sold him some matting to take the peace of that which went astray 
and have since sold him all he has had to have in our line. 

We handle a good line of 

Furniture, Carpets, Crockery, Wall Paper, Lace 
Curtains, Window Shades, and Kitchen Furnishings 

and if in want of any information in regard to anything in this line just 
drop a card and we shall be glad to give you any information you desire. 
When in Springvale you are cordially invited to make our store your 
headquarters.
